Man. Spent. Watching that game took too much out of me to really even discuss it. What's the point? Just read Wednesday's and sub Kiprusoff's name for Pavelec. Throw in a generic line about how it's not Bertuzzi's fault, but he's not really helping either. Mention that the defense played well but lapsed and that's all it took. Question whether or not Kirk Maltby belongs in the NHL. Casually bring about the fact that Tomas Tatar scored another goal. Insert hockey cliche #1. Read the Nashville recap, switch LaRue's name for Chris what's-his-face, throw in a cleverly worded zingers about NHL officiating and eye sight. Subtly hint at a conspiracy but back off so you don't get labeled as a whiny Wings fan. Ask why the lines are hardly shaken up. Insert hockey cliche #2, something to do with percentages this time. Find some obscure statistic that shows how this the worst thing that's happened since some random date in 1993. Touch on Datsyuk and Zetterberg being good even though you know they should be better. Give credit to Calgary to show that you're a good sport, but you watched Detroit dismantle Calgary a few weeks ago and you're wondering what happened to that team, and not wondering if Calgary really got any better. Ask if everyone else thought Mickey Redmond was drunk. Think about questioning Mike Babcock. Roll your eyes at Brett Lebda and Derek Meech. Evade any other issues with the injury card. Move on to tomorrow night.
